A Christmas Carol.
Without even reading this week's assignment, I noticed Charles Dicken's unique sentence structure. The story contained a plethora of varied instances, but the one that stuck out to me most was Dicken's use of parallelism. There were many, many parallel sentences within the story like this one, "'Oh! capitive, bound, and double-ironed'" (35). In this case, Dicken's utilized parallel sentence structure to provide the reader with vivid imagery and a sense of the dismal estate. Charles Dicken's created meaning by exploiting parallelism to bring A Christmas Carol to life.

I found a lot of parallelism too! Also, I like the way you said that. I tried to say the same thing but had trouble explaining it.
